Memorandum
The proposed legislation will not result in increased costs to the State, as WVC 18-5-18a indicates that all additional compensation for exceeding the maximum teacher-pupil ratios is paid exclusively from county funds.
The estimated annual cost to the county boards of education is $1,872,181. This increased cost is associated with providing additional compensation for kindergarten aides or Early Childhood Classroom Assistant Teachers in classrooms with greater than 20 pupils. The cost estimate includes increased salary, fringe benefits, and retirement costs and is based on the number of kindergarten classrooms with more than 20 students in the 2014-15 school year.
